At my company, we have it. It's actually really nice. So before I started using it, I just thought it was to look cool. Our county required it. I had one partner that always used it and so I used it with him. When I stopped using it with someone one day, I realized how much it muted the sound of the siren, made what I heard from them more clear, and also what I heard on the radio more clear. I prefer them now.

I wish we had them. Is it silly? Perhaps. And while not completely necessary, it would dampen siren noise, increase communication with your partner, and if you wired up an intercom, you can communicate to the driver from the passenger compartment.

I distinctly remember @VentMonkey yelling at me to upgrade to Code 3 and he had to tell at me 3 or 4 times because we were in the CCT unit, which is a quad cab Freightliner with a long patient compartment. I could barely hear him.
Yes, I remember. If any of our units need these it's our CCT rig(s), especially since they're keeping that extended cab feature.
